At least the protection could be achieved using Symantec Tools' HD Partition
tool to setup an encrypted partition.  I don't know enough about Filemaker
to help with the printing.  If the printing is accomplished by some sort of 
command or script file that is stored external to the database, then control
over the printing process could be achieved by creating a second protected
partition and putting the script file in that - accessible by another
password.
